Browse Atomic West

The Atomic West collections document nuclear activity in the American west with a particular focus on Rocky Flats Plant, the nuclear weapons production site in Jefferson County, CO that produced Plutonium pits or “triggers” for the United States’ nuclear weapons from 1956-1992. Selected items document significant advocacy events including the blockade of the railroad tracks by the Rocky Flats Truth Force in 1978 and encirclement in 1983; photographs taken by Rocky Flats of the site; government records of significant events from plant history; and Rocky Flats Citizen Advisory Board meeting records from cleanup efforts after 1992.
